Striving to be Good

The truth is that any act of goodness, whatever it may be, is perfectly satisfactory when performed with true intent. To achieve this kind of intense effort, meaning the studying of goodness in other people – this is what striving to be good means. If you bless someone when you meet them, if you need something which is beneficial to your mind, if you help another get what they need, if you help someone through a difficulty, if you do any of these things, you will have a greater life.
